Haagen-Dazs Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream

[New for 2016, dropped destination branding in 2017] Let's continue our journey through the Haaagen-Dazs destination series with tamest of the flavors. Nothing crazy here, just quality.

Haagen-Dazs Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream

OH MY! SO PRETTY! MINE ALL MINE!!

...must not inhale entire pint...

So rich, so fancy, so stracciatella-y!

There's not a whole lot to say here. HD's quality chocolate ice cream and so many tiny itty bitty bits of chocolate everywhere. Definitely for those who love a gritty component to their ice cream. There are no big bits here. Just slow scoop and enjoy.

On Second Scoop: If you think you won't enjoy this one because you prefer a nice thick swirl, then just save your money and get something else. That's really the only advice I can give. A fine flavor with the added boost of an undercurrent of fine chocolate. It is what it is!

Thanks for the swirl alert/warning; I will skip this one. Looking forward to Nick's review of the Mayan pint. I'm also hoping he will review the new Fiber One pints if he's able to find them. I know they'll probably stink but am still hopeful and curious.

I usually avoid ice cream with shaved or chipped chocolate because the wax tends to be a stronger flavor. It also makes the chocolate tough to melt so I can truly enjoy the additional chocolate. This flavor, however, it exquisite!!! I hope it stays a permanent option, because I almost lost my mind when the store was out!
